Hi,
you can probably use PyTables for this. Even though it's meant to
save/load data to/from disk (in HDF5 format) as far as I understand,
it can be used to make your task solvable - even on a 32bit system !!
It's free (pytables.org) -- so maybe you can try it out and tell me if
I'm right ....
Or someone else here would know right away...
Cheers,
Sebastian Haase
